and finally I decided to go with the colour theme at Colour Createwhich this week is blue and white.

I think I've ticked all the boxes there and hopefully haven't done one of my usual daft 'apeth things like getting the colour wrong or finding out that one of them wanted you to use ribbons.

I'm almost scared to go and look lol xxx

I haven't used this stamp for a while but I thought it went well with the colour theme. I coloured Tilda with the old PMs / Glamour Dust combi and I paper pieced her dress cos I thought that paper would look fab as a pretty dress :)

BTW, Tracy at Dies To Die has some gorgeous Magnolia stamps - you can see them here.

So here's the eyelets.The little flower was part of my Simon Says Stampprize and there's the good old faithful MSBP back in action after it's few days off!!!

The sentiment was from a Woodware set.

Bit of a mixture with the papers. The fabulous stripey paper is PP (the new Stripes collection, natch, and fab it is I think!!) and the gorgeous gingham papers are both from my Wild Rose Studio Spring CD.

And there are pearls on there as well.

So that's my fab four.

Now I have an update on one of our blog buds to share with you.

I was speaking to Ann - Madgesty- today and as you probably know, she has been a bit poorly and has had to give up The Next Level challenge. Well I rang her to see how she is and I have to tell you that it's good news and she is much better than she was.

She had been suffering from a really severe form of migraine which meant that she could not use her computer, as this makes the problem a squillion times worse. She is missing her cards and blogging but she obviously cannot contemplate getting on the pc for a good while yet. But she wanted to let everyone know that she is on the mend and she asked me to pass on her heartfelt thanks to everyone for all their good wishes and messages - they have meant a lot to her.

I really felt for her as I know how I would feel if I could not do my creating thingie. But at the end of the day, nothing is as important as our health I guess, and although we love what we do, if it isn't doing us any good then we have to stop. We were chatting about doing close up work and I have (half) joked in the past about turning into Donald Pleasance - it does make you think.

So this Mrs Magoo is off to give her eyes a rest and see how my swine flu ridden other half is doing. God he is stringing this one out I have to say (ohh what a nice nurse I am - not!!).

Don't forget to check out Papertake Weekly tomoorow cos we have a sketch for you, some fab DT cards and as it's the last week of the month, it is all sponsored by Simon Says Stamp.

HiThis card is so pretty, love the way you have layered the paper and coloured Tilda In.

Thanks for joining C.C this weekHugs Di xx

Is there anywhere in Chester? or around ? look forward to hearing from you i have added you to my blog list.Hugs Di xxx

Yes, this really is me. Not very pink I agree but maybe a little bit piggy xxx

I'm Dawny P.
I'm a freelance designer, craft tutor and demonstrator and I live in Chester with Richard, my partner of 15 years and our cat, Saffy. I'm mummsy to Nickie and Emma and Grandma to Kyla & Thea who are the light of my life.
I've always been a crafty girl and before making cards, I did pottery for many years and I had my own ceramics workshop.
I do have a proper job and I work full time but apart from demo work and classes, I also run a card club in Ellesmere Port which I started in October 2008.
As you can probably tell, life is pretty busy. And if that wasn't enough, we also breed birds of prey!!
